SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No..44=6,073, datedFebruary 10, 1891.

Application filed June 23, 1890.

To all whom it may concern: A

Be it known that 1, CHARLES H. MYEEs, a citizen of the United States,residing at Phelps, in the county of Ontario and State of NewYork,haveinventedcertain new and usef ulImprovements in a CombinedRatchet rench and Drill; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.

My invention relates to combination-tools, and has forits object certainimprovements in construction, which will be hereinafter described, andparticularly pointed out in the claims In the accompanying drawings,which form part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a sideelevation of my invention; Fig. 2, a vertical transverse section throughthe head of the wrench; Fig. 3, a side view of the stock or drill-holderdetached; Fig. 4, an edge view of the same, and Fig. 5 a verticallongitudinal section of the wrench in a plane at right angles to Fig. 2.

Reference being had to the drawings and the letters thereon, A indicatesa wrench provided with a bar B, upon which the jaws C C are supported,and are moved laterally thereon by a screw D engaging wit-h both jaws.The bar B is provided with an upward extension (L, which extends throughthe front end or head of the handle b of the wrench, and has secured toits upper end a ratchetwvheel c, with which a spring-actuated andreversible dog D engages, all of which features of construction of thewrench are fully set forth in my patent, No. 288,098. bearing date ofNovember 6, 1883, and need not therefore be herein further elucidated.

Throughthe extension a is an aperture 6, into which the shankf of thestock or drillholder is inserted.

The stock or drill-holder E is provided with a head g,in which is asocket h to receive the head of the drill i, and is flattened or formedrectangular from the head 9 to the cylindrical portion of the shank toprovide surface for the jaws O C to engage. At the junction of theflattened portion Z and the cylindrical portion are shoulders m an, overwhich the Serial No. 356,489. (No model.)

upper ends of the jaws C C close when in the wrench and in conjunctionwith the shoulder n, which engages with the lower side of the bar B andthe shoulders 0 o, with which the jaws engage and secure thedrill-holder against longitudinal movement in the wrench. The flattenedportion of the drill-holder is also provided with arecess p toaccommodate the milled disk g on the screw D. The shank of thedrill-holder is screw-threaded at r from the upper surface of theratchet-wheel 0 (when in position in the wrench) to its end, and withsaid screw-threaded portion engages a nut G, which, with thescrew-thread 1*, forms a feed for the drill by which it is gradually fedforward and withdrawn. The upper end of the nut G is provided with acenteringpoint 8, a

By the construction and arrangement shown a very cheap, simple, andeffective improvement is produced, which is capable of being used as aratchet-drill when combined, or asa wrench when the drill-holder isremoved.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is 1. A wrenchprovided with laterally movable jaws, an aperture in the head of thewrench, and a ratchet, in combination with a drill-holder engaged by thejaws of the wrench and having a feed mechanism on one end, substantiallyas described.

2. A wrench provided with laterally-movable jaws, an aperture in thehead of the wrench, and a ratchet, in combination with a drill-holder inthe head of the wrench and having a flattened portion with which the
